Chapter 22
“What would Nathaniel be most afraid of when he wants me to admit that I lied during the competition
before the public?”
Upon seeing Olivia‘s puzzled gaze, Lily continued, “It‘s the witnesses and evidence that will be against
him. Sure, he took the evidence away, but the witness...”
“Am I the witness?” Olivia pointed at herself. Realization soon hit her as she exclaimed, “I can be the
witness!”
She continued, arms akimbo, “We can use this chance to expose his true colors and show everyone
just what kind of a person he truly is!”
Lily smiled, shook her head lightly, and said, “No, you won‘t need to be a witness. I only need you to

“Yes, that‘s right! Nathaniel doesn‘t need you to be his witness. All he wants is to have nobody testify
for me. It will benefit him If you leave now.”
At this crucial moment, Olivia knew that Nathaniel, who cared even about the minor things, would not
let her go if she were to resign now. Slacking at work seemed to be a good choice for her in this
situation.
However, Olivia was worried. “Lily, I should be by your side, especially now. Running away would make
me look like a selfish person. Y–You know, like a soldier who ran away during a war because they
didn‘t want to die.”
“Silly girl. We‘re not at war here. How would you resemble a soldier who ran away?” Lily chuckled.
“Also, I know what I‘m doing. You wanted to leave with me, didn‘t you? Use this time to take a break
because you will be busy in the future.”
Although Olivia still had doubts, she nodded upon seeing the determination in Lily‘s eyes. After all, the
duo had worked together for many years. Oliva trusted Lily‘s decision. “Okay, I‘ll do as you say.”
After leaving the lab, Lily planned to go to Rebirth. While waiting for a cab on the side of the road, a
black Maybach stopped in front of her. The car‘s window rolled down and revealed a handsome face. It
was Alexander, and Lily was surprised to see him. “Get in,” Alexander said.
Pursing her lips, Lily opened the car door and got in the car.
“Why are you here?” Lily asked, thinking, ‘How did he know where I was?‘
“What? Am I not welcomed here?” The car had already started to move, while Alexander turned to look
at Lily.
“Of course not!” Lily said and held his arm naturally. “I just didn‘t expect to see you here.”
“Does this count as a surprise?”
That made Lily chuckle. “Of course it does. Where are we going now, though? I was planning
to go to Rebirth since I’m not entirely done with my work application yet.”

Lily only had a quick chat with the person in charge of Rebirth last night. She even had to search for
the company’s address online. Before this, Lily knew little about Rebirth. She thought she needed to
talk about this with Alexander.
“We’re not going there today. What about tomorrow?” Alexander said faintly. “Why not?” As Lily asked,
a thought formed in her head. ‘It is still early now. Does Alex need to do something else?’ Alexander
said nothing, but he just pointed to the back.
Lily looked at where Alexander pointed and noticed many other cars behind them but thought nothing
of it. After a moment, Lily was sure those cars were tailing them. ‘Who are they? Are those Nathaniel‘s
men?’
“Then what should we...” Lily wanted to ask Alexander what they should do, but at this time, Alexander
suddenly circled his arm around her shoulder as the car sped up simultaneously.
